Beyond a Conduit: The Evolution of Functional Biliary Stents From Active Intervention to Enabling Platforms

iNew Medicine, EarlyView.
This review traces the evolution of functional biliary stents, outlining the paradigm shift from “active intervention” strategies that target stent failure to next‐generation “enabling platforms.” These platforms leverage biodegradable materials, 3D/4D printing, and smart sensors to achieve personalized, regenerative, and theranostic solutions ...

Organoids and organ‐on‐a‐chip models for investigating the pathophysiology of the human reproductive system

Interdisciplinary Medicine, EarlyView.
Organoids and organ‐on‐a‐chips are advancing reproductive system research. In the female reproductive system, applications include cancer organoid models, placental chips, and hormone simulation models. For the male reproductive system, research focuses on drug resistance mechanisms, co‐culture platforms, and infertility studies. These refined in vitro

Trans‐Fistula Contrast‐Enhanced Ultrasound in Diagnosing a Complex Anal‐Bartholin‐Perineal Fistula of Crohn's Disease: A Case Report

Journal of Clinical Ultrasound, EarlyView.
This case illustrates the potential utility of TF‐CEUS as a valuable adjunct in diagnosing complex fistulae. When MRI demonstrates limited sensitivity in detecting complex fistulae, TF‐CEUS can be chosen as a complementary imaging modality. It allows for real‐time, dynamic monitoring of the fistula branches, providing favorable conditions for early ...

Fifteen years of clinical liver transplantation [PDF]

, 1979
Liver transplantation in humans was first attempted more than 15 yr ago. The 1-yr survival has slowly improved until it has now reached about 50%. In our experience, 46 patients have lived for at least 1 yr, with the longest survival being 9 yr. The high

The Application Value of Transvaginal Three‐Dimensional Ultrasonography in the Diagnosis of Adenomyosis of the Uterus

Journal of Clinical Ultrasound, EarlyView.
In this study, 3D‐TVS measurements of the uterine junction zone (JZ) in 120 patients showed that a JZmax threshold of ≥ 0.45 cm yielded 77% sensitivity and 89% specificity for adenomyosis diagnosis. Notably, JZ thickness varies minimally with age, demonstrating its stability and excellent diagnostic performance.

Access and reattachment of biliary tree anomaly through Roux-en-Y hepaticojejunostomy: A case report

Radiology Case Reports
The right posterior segmental duct (RPSD) draining into the cystic duct is exceedingly rare. Ligation of the cystic duct in proximity to the junction of an aberrant right hepatic duct after a cholecystectomy can lead to life threatening complications ...
